The Aztecs

By Hunter Williams
= = = Around 1300 AD a group of people known as the Aztecs wandered into the valley of Mexico, only to find some people already had the land so the only place they could find was the swampy shores. They thought this must be good for them because if it wasn’t God would not have given it to them. = = = = They soon adapted to this environment by building canoes and hunting fish and birds that lived by the water. They filled in the marshes and created farms. They also built dams to hold back the water. = = = = Once they had things __functioning__ they began to conquer tribes nearby. First one then another and another. = = = = Each tribe they conquered had to give them food, money and clothing so now the Aztecs wouldn’t have to sacrifice their own items to the hungry gods. = = = = The Aztecs grew bigger and bigger and before long they had their own empire. = = = = = =3000 years later in 15000 AD the Spanish arrived. One soldier said, “There were soldiers among us who had been in many parts of the world, in Constantinople and Rome and all over Italy, who said that they had never before seen a market place so large and so filled with people.”= = = =The Spanish became jealous. They brought with them guns, horses and huge fighting dogs. The Aztecs were very skilled and aggressive and easily fought off these but the one thing the Aztecs were not immune to was disease. The Spanish killed most of the Aztecs through disease. The Spanish finished them off with help of other tribes nearby that saw a chance to get even with the Aztecs. Little did these tribes know how harshly the Spanish would rule there people.= =By the mid 1500s the Aztecs fell and soon enough the Spanish had taken over the entire region.= = = =Today there are little more than one million Aztecs living in Mexico. They no longer sacrifice, but they still enjoy spending their time through art and games just as their ancestors did.=
